First of all, I would like to mention that I had to take a break from posting during the holidays. And happy new year, by the way. However, I’m not done yet with telling stories about my road trip from last October. I’ve a few more stops to go through. Right now, we are in Milwaukee.

And the sun peeked over Lake Michigan that day, casting a golden hue on the Milwaukee Art Museum’s iconic wings. I walked around the building to take a few photos. The mesmerizing architecture almost made me lose track of time. I had to keep moving.

Emerging from the museum, I followed the lakeshore path to Lake Park. The view of the city skyline is simple but gorgeous. And the air smelled of pine and adventure. Juneau Park, Veterans Park, McKinley Park, and Back Bay Park, each has its own story.

Then I moved on and walked towards Downtown. Cathedral Square Park, a green oasis surrounded by historic brownstones. The Milwaukee Public Market beckoned with its tantalizing aromas—fresh-baked bread, spicy sausages, and exotic spices. The Historic Third Ward, once a bustling warehouse district, now thrives with boutiques, art galleries, and trendy eateries.

As I headed north of town, I stumbled upon the Mitchell Building, with its ornate facade, stood as a testament to the city’s industrial past. At City Hall Square, the clock tower watched over the city, its chimes echoing through time.

Driving up and through the Upper East Side, I discovered the North Point Lighthouse. Perched atop a bluff, I was told it guided ships home for generations. The surroundings are wonderful. Walk paths and gardens abound.

As I headed back, I stumbled upon the whimsical Gilman Triangle — a quirky little park tucked between buildings. A bronze statue of a dancing couple stood at its center, frozen in perpetual waltz. Even in a bustling city, magic could be found in unexpected corners.

And finally, as the sun was coming down and dinner was on my mind, I thought – beer and cheese curds. Because, well, Wisconsin.
